There's some serious misprision going on in the White House right now.

6. Until Republicans are actually sent to prison in large numbers, they will conduct business as usual.

The Congress shall have power to declare the punishment of treason, but no attainder of treason shall work corruption of blood, or forfeiture except during the life of the person attainted.
